KiB is recommended for using base-2 size measurements, KB/kB should be
considered to be the same, since K reverse to the SI "kilo" in either

KiB == Kibibyte, which is the current (for several years now) term for
using base-2 measurements.

I wrote something up quite some time ago which may provide some
clarification:
